Since I have written so many blog posts on the different places we visited during our 9 day Gujarat tour, I thought why not consolidate all my Gujarat posts in one place.

Both of us at work

We visited Gujarat during winter when the weather is pleasant and also the chances of spotting birds is very high. Our tour itinerary was something like this: We reached Bhopal from Bangalore and spent a day there. In Bhopal, we visited Sanchi and Bhimbetka. Sanchi is famous for its Buddhist stupa and Bhimbetka for its pre-historic rock paintings. Both the sites are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

From here our Gujarat tour started. In Ahmedabad we did the local sight seeing and then headed for Velavadar visiting Nal Sarovar and Lothal on the way. Nal Sarovar is an ideal place for spotting flamingoes and Lothal is one of the few sites of the ancient Harappan civilization in India.We stayed at: Hotel Silver Plaza 2nd Floor ,Devnandan Mall Opposite Sanyas Ashram Near M.J Library, Ellis Bridge Ahmedabad- 380006 Ph - 26584030 Good hotel and good location

It is the last home of the Asiatic lion. We were extremely lucky to witness two young lion brothers hunt and tear down a nilgai. We stayed at : I cant recall the name of the hotel. Sinh Sadan is the best place to stay in Gir
